Hi Everyone,

Today we've released UTM 9.508. The release will be rolled out in phases. In phase 1 you can download the update package from our FTP server, in phase 2 we will spread it via our Up2Date servers.

Note:

  • When installing the update packages manually, please make sure to upload both update packages 9.507 and 9.508.
  • S/MIME Encryption updates: This release brings changes to the S/MIME feature to fully conform with new GDPR regulatory requirements for encryption. Core to these changes are new algorithms to perform encryption and signatures within S/MIME. Due to the changes in the signature algorithms, older implementations of S/MIME - including previous Sophos UTM releases - can no longer verify signatures produced with the new algorithms. Encryption and decryption of emails is not affected by this change. For details, please read the following KBA at https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/131727.

  • The UTM 576 Bug is back :(

    My first Sophos was plagued with problems, slow or non-existent loading of sites like the BBC, Google Maps or Reddit. It took months of emails, research and support tickets before we found the problem was an MTU setting.

    The 9.4 series firmware introduced a bug where it would only allow whatever MTU your ISP sent. In many cases this was 576, however this caused the browsing problems described above.

    I’ve been speaking with Sophos Support and they said this problem can be worked around in CLI or do a factory image of 9.5.

    The first fix was to modify the backend via CLI to ignore the ISP MTU, this worked.

    Once the WAN MTU was set to 1500 all the problems went away.

    But I was advised re-imaging to 9.5 would fix the problem for good.

    So yesterday I factory imaged 2 Sophos units to 9.5 and the bug was gone

    Today I updated my test SG 135 to 9.508-10 and the bug has returned!

    So now I have to refuse all future updates from the Factory ISO of 9.5, or presumably hack a workaround in CLI again?

    What should I do?
